“Villa Gallici is a true home from home, fantastic for a group of friends or family!”

Reviewed 2 June 2014
for a stay in May 2014

Everything was there on arrival, the cupboards were well stocked, Sky TV, music systems, games, books, kitchen well equipped with every gadget you could possibly need. The pool, deck and patio were beautiful, fabulous lighting at night and views over the sea by day. The beach is a 10/15 minute walk down hill so be prepared to walk back up! Other local beaches are lovely and not far at all in the car - recommend a car for the stay as there's a lot to explore - waterfalls at Algar are a must see, waterpark (Aqualandia) at Benidorm was great for all ages but expensive - definitely book tickets on line beforehand as it's cheaper - be prepared to pay for sunbeds and lazy river tubes in addition to entry fee! All in all a fabulous holiday - villa on two levels with two fully equipped kitchens, lounges and bedrooms (2 beds top floor and 3 beds below) - even down to the travel plugs! Thank you so much - would highly recommend and would go again!!! x

So pleased you all had a great holiday!Glad you enjoyed all the outside space as it's so important to have that perfect for all the family to relax together without being on top of each other. The walk into town is definitely more pleasurable than the walk back because of that steep last bit! great exercise for the back of your legs! Taxis are freely available for about €7 so not too bad.Hope to have you back in the future. Many thanks. Denise x

We stayed at Villa Gallici for 10 days in August 2013 and had an absolutely fantastic time. We were two families of four (2 adults and 2 children in each group) so this villa was perfect for us as it has split level accommodation. Myself and my family stayed in the upper level which had two bedrooms, one twin and one double. There was plenty of space in each bedroom and lots of storage. Both rooms came with air con and ceiling fans which were a real blessing in August temperatures! The double had a great en suite with walk in shower and the children had their own separate bathroom with a nice big bath and overhead rain shower. There were lovely big bath towels provided and also we had beach towels provided which was a real bonus. The lower floor is where the other family stayed and whilst I think the upper floor was more luxurious, both levels were excellent. Upstairs we had a large wall mounted TV with Sky+, DVD player, Wifi and comfy big sofas. The kitchen was well equipped with a huge American Fridge Freezer, microwave and an impressively big range oven. It could do with a few plastic tumblers for use out by the pool and some nice glass ones for inside and some nice size serving dishes would be a good idea. Outside in a separate room was the utility room complete with a washing machine and tumble dryer and two airers which meant we could wash and air our clothes in the lovely sunshine! There were beach parasols, fishing nets for the children, a cool box and other beach essentials all provided which saved us a fortune as you definitely needed a beach umbrella on the local El Portet beach which doesn't have umbrellas available to use. I can't comment on the downstairs living area in quite so much detail but on a brief look round it had it's own kitchen, two twin bedrooms and large double. This meant that whilst we wanted to be on holiday with our friends, we could still maintain a degree of privacy and some space from each other when needed. The pool area was absolutely gorgeous. Lots of inflatables for the children to play with and Ken the pool man was very friendly and came at least 3 times during our stay to clean the pool thoroughly. There were plenty of sun loungers around the pool and two sets of table and chairs so we could sit out in the evenings and enjoy dinner together. There was a BBQ provided which we certainly made good use of and the lighting of the patio and pool area in the evening was very pretty - there was even a little water feature in the corner. The views from the pool area down to the sea were amazing and I never got tired of opening the curtains in our bedroom and looking straight out to the sea and watching all the boats and yachts coming and going.So, to sum it up, this is an absolutely wonderful villa which is perfect for 2 families or large groups of people wanting to holiday together and I could not recommend it more highly! The owners Denise & Dave were extremely helpful throughout the booking and made the whole thing very easy!

This was our fourth villa holiday and we have never been disappointed but each villa has had it's own strengths and weaknesses. I always find the process of ploughing through endless websites in an attempt to choose what appears to be the nicest villa a real challenge. I have spent hours examining photos and descriptions before making a final choice then keeping my fingers crossed that the property is truly what it appears to be on the website.Villa Gallici is probably the best villa we have stayed in. The owners were very attentive and reassuring throughout the booking process and made me feel confident that we had made the right choice. Upon our arrival, we were delighted to find that the villa, it's location and the pool area met our expectations and more!The interior of the villa is spacious, tastefully decorated, very clean and well stocked. The air con in each bedroom did ensure we were comfortable at night, although the villa was generally cool considering the outside temperatures. The on line photos are a genuine true reflection of this villa and you won't be disappointed.The beach is lovely and about a 7 minute walk downhill. I would say that there is a steep hill leading up to the property but within a few days, the lazy members of our party would simply leave the car at the bottom. The rest of us viewed the hill as our daily work out to compensate for the excessive intake of food and drink!Moraira is about a 20 minute walk away and the stroll in at night was a pleasure with great views out to sea and the marina. There is an excellent choice of restaurants and bars in Moraira although we did need to book ahead as we were a group of 9 during peak season.We had a really enjoyable and relaxing holiday. We had intended to explore but found ourselves content to spend most of our time around the pool and admiring the view out to sea. A fantastic villa with a great pool area. Highly recommended.

Service - From the earliest contact with the owners I found them very easy to deal with and extremely personable and helpful. They are clearly very proud of their property and quite rightly so, its a beautiful villa in a simply stunning location.

Property - The property has everything and more. The layout of the villa makes it ideal for 2 families who want to be able to maintain an element of privacy between families whilst staying in the villa. There are 2 totally separate living areas with 2 living rooms and 2 fully equipped kitchens. The villa would also be suitable for other types of groups I just thought this point was worth highlighting. The wifi connection in the property was very welcome and i found the connection speed to be very fast from every room in the property. All the beds were comfortable and rooms very clean and tidy.

Location - The villa is located on a hillside in the small town of El Portet Nr to Moraira. Our group of 9 ranged from age 9 - 65 yrs old. We walked into Moraira and back every evening which took around 30 minutes (strolling). Some people may find the final road approaching the villa a bit of a climb on foot, however, you wouldn't have the wonderful views if you were any lower down. The views of the sea are better than I expected and we spent many a relaxing hour gazing out to see watching the boats and jet ski's in the cove. We found the area very quiet and peaceful and didn't even here a car drive by in the whole week we stayed there.

Likes - The pool is great and well maintained, the pool cleaner visited twice during the week we were there. The newly built terrace is beautiful, we were impressed with the lovely ambient lights. We spent many a late night on the terrace after returning from town.

Dislike - There is simply nothing to dislike. The villa was literally perfect.

Summary. The villa is simply stunning. Well equipped, beautifully kept, peaceful location, stunning views, close enough to local amenities (10 min walk to beach, 25-30 min walk to town of Moraira).

Thank you Denise and Dave for sharing your wonderful home with the world.
